The fact that it happened suddenly is why it worked. If it was predetermined, all the tweets will be about how verified users couldn't tweet (at already started getting there after a few hours this time as well).

    Everyone would just make an alternate account and not apply for the checkmark on it, although I suppose that might still align with your goals.
